michael steele, how does president biden get this back to a referendum on trump?ch seems like the right place for it to be for him. >> since donald trump is very familiar with indictments, load up some indictments. indict him on everything he's done during his presidency and since. lay it out there, plain and simple. you don't have to sugar coat it because it is what it is. it tells the story of the man who wants to be a dictator. it tells the story of a man who does not value the very sanctity of what this country stands for. so much so that they want to deconstruct the administrative state. they have a supreme court that is freely doing that. so okay, you know when donald trump wins, probably two supreme court justices will step down. >> probably? they will. >> thomas and alito. when they do, the 40 something-year-old replacement is sitting, sitting there waiting. god knows what else happens after that. so democrats need to start thinking strategically about this. put their politics and their strategy together to go after this guy. and don't get tripped up on th

the movement was always in the margins, indemnities, michael steele, how do you see this playing out?n't know yet. it's may, june, people about to go on summer vacations, and hopefully clean some of this out of their heads and then come back and refocus on it. the problem i have with doing snapshot polling is that it distorts exactly where things are because we don't know precisely where they are with voters. particularly after an event like this. voters will digest and process this. it is important that narratives be clear and focused that tell the story of what this moment means. and then voters will check back in after labor day, and they'll begin to process it in terms of the question you asked at the very beginning, katy, which is shall i vote for a convicted fellowon -- felon for office. who has been convicted on 34 counts in this case, and judged a sexual predator in the e. jean carroll case and found liable for tax evasion and fraud and owes a half a billion dollars in fines and fees. so there's a lot for voters to process with these cases coming as they have. and i think the

michael steele, i disagree. they will have a chance. in fact, if you look at donald trump's track record and donald trump's republican party over the last seven years, they are 0-7. so, yeah, maybe the biden team is going to have to work harder. maybe democrats are going to have to work harder. maybe people who actually like american democracy will going to work harder but they have to work harder genetic the word out that these people are lying, not only is the rnc lying, but also mainstream media outlets are all in on the lies. >> yeah. i think that is true. i agree with you, joe, a little bit on that. it's the reality is very stark one and it's one that a number of us have been warning about for a while. you know what we haven't brought up in this conversation, which is right there at the tip of the sphere is a.i. a.i. generated that where you can take these events. we are talking about taking a clip and showing one angle from it. we have already seen the rnc and the trump campaign effort play in this space when the rnc put out its a
